Creatine Intake

Ok so i have been taking creatine mix with like all those amino acids like 3 times on training days and once on non training days...on training days in the morning or afternoon depending on when i train during the day and before and after training and at lunch on non training days. I am just wondering tho if i am over doing it and aren't i supposed to slow down on the intake soon ? I have been doing it for about 2 weeks like this

how many grams of creatine each day? You don't need more than about 5 grams every other day really. Don't know about the amino acids though..

that sounds like a lot! go to TESTOSTERONE NATION and search for creatine and read "the creatine update 2000" and whatever else you can find.

And also just read that say you take it for the first 4 days twice a day to load your body then you take it once a day before workouts ? for up to a month then you stop for 2 weeks then do the same thing over and over ?

no need to cycle creatine use.
the whole loading thing is discussed, if you want to do it, then go ahead. One more economical way to do it is to take 5g every day for 3 weeks. then take 5g ever day after you workout.
When you train your body's creatine stores will be depled, and if you just thow it in your PWO you will charge it up again.

dextrose is good PWO, but not otherwise. So only use that PWO. I second Der's advice, buy regular creatine when you're done with that.
